This is what I see when the test document is viewed in LO 3.5.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04). You will notice that the text has expanded onto the second page.
I have raised this problem as bug 81216 on Libreoffice Bugzilla. They concluded that the problem is OS specific. ** Attachment added: "Freesans Test document - LO3.5.pdf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1340844/+attachment/4150550/+files/Freesans%20Test%20document%20-%20LO3.5.pdf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1340844 Title: Font Freesans displays with different metrics in LO 3.5 compared with LO 4.2 Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Documents created using the Freesans font display differently when opened in Libreoffice version 3.5.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04) compared with opening them in version 4.2.4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04) To reproduce the issue please create a Writer document in LO version 4.2.4.2 and then fill the page with text using the Freesans font. Save the document and then open it in LO version 3.5.7.2 You will see that the text has expanded to fill approximately one third of a second page. I have attached a sample test file created in LO 4.2.4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04) This makes sharing documents among users who use different versions very unsatisfactory.
